The Storage Agent Options File

 

The options file for the storage agent is named dsmsta.opt. The dsmsta.opt file for

 

the storage agent contains the name of the server with which the storage agent

 

communicates, along with other options. The dsmsta.opt file is located where the

 

storage agent program was installed. The default path is: /usr/tivoli/tsm/

 

StorageAgent/bin.

 

Normally, you do not need to make any changes to the options file unless your

 

Tivoli Storage Manager server changes.

 

Detailed information about these options is available in the Administrator’s

 

Reference.

For detailed information on the commethod and lanfreecommethod options, see

the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX and Linux: Backup-Archive Clients

Installation and User’s Guide.

Required Options

This section describes the required options.

Note: Allowed abbreviations for the options are shown in uppercase letters.

DEVCONFig file_name

The name of the device configuration file for the storage agent. A typical name for the file is devconfig.

SERVERName server_name

The name of the Tivoli Storage Manager server with which the storage agent communicates. The DSMSTA SETSTORAGESERVER command inserts this option.

TCPPort number

Specifies the port number on which the server TCP/IP communication driver is to wait for requests for client sessions.

Using different port numbers for the options TCPPORT and TCPADMINPORT enables you to create one set of firewall rules for client sessions and another set for other session types (administrative sessions, server-to-server sessions, SNMP subagent sessions, storage agent sessions, library client sessions, managed server sessions, and event server sessions). If the two port numbers are different, separate threads will be used to service client sessions and the other session types. If you allow the two options to use the same port number (by default or by explicitly setting them to the same port number), a single server thread will be used to service all session requests.

Additional Options

The following options are also available, but not required:

ADMINONClientport yesno

Specifies whether or not the TCPPORT can be used by administrative sessions. You can specify one of the following values:

vYES (default)
